[FNaF Theory] Defending the Character Encyclopedia - Part 2

[@Chill_Channel5]

One thing I would like to point out is that Michael is actually confirmed to be Williams son in sister location at the very end cut scene he specifically says "Father, it's me Michael" and if the crying child's sister is Elizabeth the crying child would be related to Michael and William

[@hbudson1248]

About the poster- yeah I'm going to be honest the guidebooks seem to just love being vague in general. Like, "Elizabeth who's BELIEVED to possess Baby"? Really guys? Also I find that there's evidence for William fitting as the magician especially now, with- yknow, the Fnaf 4 retcons (which I hate but we don't need to talk about that). Their whole thing is illusions and what have you Even if I can't get behind a fair chunk of it, good video

[@mjslack3073]

The one wrench thrown into this is Sister Location confirming Foxy Bro Aka Mike is Williams son. When he literally has a monologue about finding his father. The Character guide contradicts itself more often than it makes sense so it’s more likely this was just a botched book with too many hands on the pot or whatever the saying is. Edit: random theory I just thought about the guide is an in universe book full of misinformation on purpose from Fazbear entertainment

[@iamthemouse4483]

Basically Frights Fiction, but encompassing everything.

[@lawrencecalderwood]

Wait Michael Afton was confirmed to be the foxy bro in the ultimate guide actually way before that

[@king_plasma]

While I don't agree, this Theory is well put togeathe and explained well. Keep up the Good Work, we already should be challenging our assumptions in this series

[@Autumn_Actually]

Very interesting stuff, looking forward to the next installments!

The IV, Pill Bottles and Flowers; Is it possible that the Crying Child is hallucinating things related to his "missing" mother? Consider that Mrs. Afton basically doesn't exist; her absence is almost her strongest character trait. We always think of these props as relating to the Crying Child being bit, but here's the thing; IV lines exist in hospitals and are something you would see when visiting someone; you would also bring flowers. And pill bottles are not something you have in the hospital; you pick up pill bottles after (or before) you are in the hospital at the pharmacy. So maybe what we are seeing are objects a child remembers from visiting someone who is sick? Someone who is in the hospital long enough to be sent flowers? Someone who came home on medication... And then one day... Wasn't there anymore? The bed in the bedroom is also either a Queen or King-size mattress with the two pillows side by side; it is not a child's bed. Children's objects are in the room, but the bed is more suited/sized for an adult; also the bedspread is a quilt and not something fazbear branded, in an era when there is tons of merch for children being produced. Lastly... Isn't the closet a bit empty... As if it had been cleared out of most of it's contents?

[@Sunshoop]

ooo good theory! makes me think that since the room was empty and the crying child might've been missing their mother they could've gone to the bedroom she used as comfort, playing there and forgetting to clean up leaving the messy toys everywhere. i did notice a lava lamp on the dresser- i dont think a small child would be left with that in their room unless they're like maybe a teen, i can see an adult having that maybe. why would a child have picture frames in the room too? the stars make sense for a childs room but that's kinda flimsy too. it could've been put up because the child asked to while wandering into the room on either move in day or a random day. who knows about those stars- the room just doesnt feel very like a childs, its just not quite it. especially if we're playing a young child, one who wouldn't need big beds or out of arm length dressers with pictures, a fan that the child cant even reach or the two lamps(normal and lava lamp) and yeah- the whole era stuff of fnaf makes sense too. the closet has mostly just clothes aside from the plushies but yknow- the toys are on the floor so it doesnt make any less sense than before. the environment is so story telling yet i feel like its getting abit too ignored and not looked at. i swear we saw the closet door wider than the wiki shows- idk- its late im probably exhausted and my thoughts are scattered. environmental theories could maybe solve alot woo

[@Harlez]

The height disparity in fnaf 4's gameplay is due to it having originally been experienced by the crying child who, after possessing the Fredbear plush that the puppet puts inside the Golden Freddy suit, later gives Michael the same experiences as nightmares sometime briefly preceeding the fnaf 3 gameplay.

[@jambalayajam]

WHOOOO IVE BEEN WAITING GLAD TO SEE THE NEXT PART

[@Bibienneh]

Yes watching these is so much fun, just seeing another look into the franchise in a way most people don't.

[@jambalayajam]

@@Bibienneh right I love it I feel like it isn’t just repeating everything like most videos it feels like a cool theory part three will be great

[@Nahar-w7m]

Ok Let's do this one last time ( i believe in stitchlinegames and talesgames change my mind wait you can't ) "Scott did not confirm that the crying child is an afton" When we get something important or big wrong scott makes a post (not always) and tells us that we do Scott almost never outright Himself comfims things but he does in the games or books like how memories work what's remnant and agony how physics works in fnaf ect If crying child Isn't an afton then its the BIGGEST misconception in the fnaf community EVER Scott went so FAR to make a story (dittophobia) made it 1to1 with fnaf 4 and sister location SPOON FED US the lore Its been almost 9 years since fnaf 4 released but he never said that there's a misconception about the crying child and his older brother but it’s the opposite where game after game where scott is telling that there's a deeper connection between the crying child and afton Now about the staff bots in the post it room there's unused voicelines Between the nanny bot and magician bot confirming that it is a family There's a unused voiceline where the magician bot says "i will pull a rabbit out of my hat" henry in the games lost his daughter and then just disappears he does not make any robot humans he does not do anything like henry in the novels but William in the game interpreted as a magician fits almost perfectly William is the cause of every supernatural/paranormal things happening he expirements with remnant and emotions ect I did not need to do this rant because those staff bots are a family and there's a circus baby staff bot confirming that it is the aftons and there's a gift box in the middle of the table inside it is a fredbears family diner Poster then we have a staff bot with no head confirming that the crying child and the older brother are aftons the older brother being Michael afton (duh) and the crying child is his younger brother (the logbook already gave Michae afton a connection to fnaf 4 and the older brother but the fnaf movie really messed with fnaf fans who Don't have an encyclopedia of the fnaf lore , physics, memories,ect Now Here's what i think is really happening 1982-1983 William kills Charlotte 1983 william starts fear expirements on children his first victim Being his own son the crying child Then the the bite of 1983 happens Early 1990s mike works at fnaf 1 2000s mike works at sister location (he works at sister location in the 2000s because of dittophobia) crying child or shadow freddy (most likely shadow freddy) latches onto mike giving him Memories that are not his the fnaf 4 gameplay takes place (which is a dream that mike is having) also who says that William is getting revenge on mike by Putting him in fnaf 4? I remember only matpat saying that majority of the fandom believes mikedreamer

[@vanyadolly]

You *are* literally playing those sections as a child even if Mike is dreaming. There's just too many references to his job as a security guard like the attack pattern of the animatronics and the call from phone guy to believe it's anyone but Mike. Mike would also remember the hospital CC died in -- arguably more so than CC who was in a coma at the time. Alternatively CC could be "dreaming" after having encountered Mike as a ghost. But the strongest evidence for Mike being FoxyBro is that there's no narrative coherence without him. There's no payoff at the end of the story. It's an interesting interpretation of the book, but I think there's more selective picking between which parts are considered confirmed than in the first video. This often seems to happen with theories when you have to build so much on interpretations made at the start.

[@Kirill-Ivanov2002]

What do you mean? Michael doesn't exist.

[@Trontotario]

9:03 if you believe in both MoltenMCI and shatterVictim then Michael experiencing the crying child’s memories could make sense, let me explain. When the funtimes merged into Ennard they’ve basically put the crying child back together by rebuilding his memories into one basically resurrecting the crying child. The only reason Michael survived being scooped is because of remnant and if Ennard is the crying child at that point then Michael would have the crying child’s memories. By ejecting out baby the crying child was able to fully establish control of the MCI hence “one big happy family” and “together again”. This is the only explanation I have for how bite victim’s remnant could have ended up in Michael.

[@gucciganglilaku]

Haha I commented yesterday part 2 when

[@hyrule_yt]

Scott doesn’t confirm theories, just guides them and points them out. Of course the book containing the lore of the games wouldn’t confirm fan theories unless they have explicit evidence to the point where it’s barely a theory. For instance, Help Wanted 2 doesn’t say you’re playing as Cassie’s father, however it’s explicitly clear you are. If this theory was put into the ultimate guide they would still phrase it to be fan theory but point out the clear evidence points saying that the HW2 protag is Cassie’s father. Deconstructing fan theories that 90% of the community has thought to be correct just to make your own timeline is not useful at all. The only thing interesting I find is using the encyclopedia and taking its word as truth unless you can contradict it. However I’d be weary to rely on a book that says Bonnet is in FNAF 3 and that was proof read by Dawko, the man who knows very little about theories in the community until they explicitly are confirmed.

" crying child was bitten by fredbear"? I've seemed fredbear did not killed kid dead crying child.. Know why because Michael afton's little brother kid. Michael afton has bad friends 3 kids. They did trying get him kid then throw fredbear's jaw trying kill him but I feeling seeming looks like fredbear trying sing, yawning or other different something like that. Michael afton mean ( hated little brother kid crying child)

[@tt_sallie]

Rewritten as an attempt to make easier to read I've seen, Fredbear did not kill the Crying Child (CC). You know why? Because: Michael Afton's little brother, the kid... Michael Afton has 3 bad friends. They did try to get him (CC) then throw him in Fredbear's jaw trying to kill him, but To me it looks like Fredbear was trying to sing, yawn, or something else. Michael Afton was mean (hated his little brother, the Crying Child)
